Johari

Have you heard of this? I read about it on a couple of the many blogs I read obsessively (more about that later). As I understand it, a Johari window is basically a four-square grid containing words about personality traits. The four quadrants are divided by traits that are known by you and those that are known by others, and how these overlap: Arena (known to self and others), Façade (known to self but not others), Blind Spot (known to others but not self), and Unknown (not known by anyone).

So, Readers! All five of you! (And I’m overestimating generously.) In order to collect data for the “known to others” part... I need others. That means you. And you. But not you. So please take 60 seconds to go here and tell me something about myself.

Rach, I also expect your comment as to whether this is a legitimate psychological technique or just another wondrous way to kill time on the internet.
